Project Browser Selects something I didn't click

Hi, I am having trouble with the Project Browser LC 9.6.1 Business Mac OS 10.15.4.
Everything works fine and then all of a sudden when I click on an item in the browser, an item 2 or 3 lines above is selected. It seems random to me and sometimes I am able to quit LC and restart and all is well again Sometimes NOT.
Any ideas?
Tom

It's a bug (assuming it's the same as on Windows), should be fixed in a new release:

Thanks Sparkout!
Glad to hear that it might not be something I am doing wrong this time!

Hmm, rereading your symptoms and comparing with the bug report and the fix, it's not clear whether it is the same problem after all. It could well be, and hope that the upcoming fix is the right solution, but see if you can test your bug recipe against the report to check if the cure is the right one for you.

Hi Sparkout!
I looked at the video's on the you referenced above.
My problem has nothing to do with the right click.
I have a project open, go to the project browser to fix a problem with an object (size and /or position).
sometimes when I LEFT click in the object in the browser the object a couple of lines above gets selected.
It is a random error, but once that behavior begins it continues until I restart LC. I have successfully selected the object I wanted by choosing the object a couple of lines below the one I want to select.
Hope this helps.
By the way, I didn't have the problem all day yesterday or so far today.

The "Project Browser" in general needs a fix, actually lots of them!
I created a button to close and open it again in case it gets a "hiccup" and does really strange things:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
if "revIDEProjectBrowser" is in the openstacks then
close stack "revIDEProjectBrowser"
else
go stack "revIDEProjectBrowser"
end if
end mouseUp

I just had the same phenomena happen while editing a card> When I clicked on something on a card the cursor jumped above where I had clicked and selected something else if there was an object there. All ok after exit and restart LC .

Are you using more than one display?
This has been known to happen when extra displays are connected and the tops of the displays are not aligned in System Settings > Displays > Arrangement.

Hi All,
I think I discovered what the problem is.
At one time (maybe more) I had 2 open instances of LC in memory!
Advice to self and anyone else who might do that.
DON'T
